KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5529

Firm up the ride and control body motion at the rear axle with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG5529, a high-pressure monotube gas shock built as a rear-position replacement for the air-cooled Volkswagen lineup: the 1952-1977 Volkswagen Beetle, 1966-1973 Volkswagen Fastback, 1955-1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, 1966-1973 Volkswagen Squareback, 1971-1980 Volkswagen Super Beetle, 1973-1974 Volkswagen Thing, and 1955-1967 Volkswagen Transporter. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

• Monotube gas design: The high-pressure monotube separates the nitrogen gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, with an air-free hydraulic piston/valve chamber and a high-pressure gas chamber using a floating piston.
• Extra damping: Adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for your Volkswagen.
• Triple chrome-plated rod: Because fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, the ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated piston rod is designed to reduce seal wear.
• Steering feel: The higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response, and helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended.

Shocks wear as a set — replacing both rear units together helps keep damping balanced side to side.
